Red Rabbit

Glad you got it out easily. Check your headspace so that you are only setting the shoulder back about 0.002" when resizing

He may have been posting on 24Hr too as tbt250602.. One post said he was an ffl in Strasburg CO. Only posted for one day https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/userposts/id/80520

Well, it's official. Clover drew the Governor's Quail tag and I drew squat.

With the summer rains and thunderstorms starting, I went up to the Grand Canyon for a couple of days to photograph some lightning and elk. The lightning was often evasive to me, mostly off in the distance or hidden behind the clouds. One six point bull did oblige as it munched on the oak leaves.

I see recent FB posts with plenty of new gambel chicks, but have to wonder if those are around the houses and golf courses. Have your sighting been out in the desert?

I was watching a pot of water yesterday. It took forever to come to boil 😉

most memorable I've had in Flagstaff has been at Proper Meats where Freddy's Grand Canyon Cafe used to be. Diablo Burger has a good rep, but, although good, I found it did not live up to the hype.

those did not last long

I recently picked up a pair of new 10x42's so am looking for a bino chest pack. I am considering the Marsupial non-magnetic full closure pack. Are there any better options to consider?

What in particular did you like about the Kuiu? What 3 others did you try and why not like?

I would say to put up multiple pics of the rifle with target groups and price, and quit beating around the bush. Great coues and antelope cartridge.

I found a cap better than the ASU slogan. 😁

If the elk have been dropping their calves the past two weeks, that would indicate that the breeding/peak of the rut was around October 1. http://www.cervidsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/ELK-Gestation-Table.pdf

Price?

Notags- I will be at a few art shows in Pinetop this summer which being held at the In Bloom Nursery. Dates are June 17-19, Aug 19-21 and Sept 16-18.

They were there four years ago also. Beats me where they get any water.

Maybe increase another 35%, $1.50, but some say unlikely. https://money.com/gas-prices-forecast-summer-2022/ https://investorplace.com/2022/05/gas-price-predictions-how-high-will-gas-prices-go-in-2022/ https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/gas-prices-outlook-6-gallon-fuel-demand-summer-driving-season-2022-5?op=1

In this image, the milky way arches over Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte, Lee Mountain, Gibraltar, and Twin Buttes near Sedona. I had been wanting to make this night panorama for a few years, and finally spent a few hours in the dark. This is a blend of about 9 images for the starry sky, and about 9 exposures for the mountains taken about 45 minutes after sunset so some detail could be captured with less noise. The native file is about 27x54" without any enlargement. After a series of images to stitch into a long panorama was shot, the night was ended with this single exposure. The light on Courthouse Butte is due to the lights of the Village of Oak Creek Nikon D810, 24mm, f/2.8, ISO 6400, 20 sec.

Many of you know that I have been shooting a Nikon more than a Winchester the past several years. As life progresses, interests change also. I do find landscape photography a lot like hunting in that one has to research and scout locations, check the weather, hike in the dark to get to locations, and have patience for the right opportunity. Even if a glorious sunset does not happen, or a royal bull steps in the opening, the time spent in nature is a blessing. This past Oktober, I spent the first week in southwest Colorado photographing fall colors. I had not been to Colorado in five years for various reasons, but the return happened when the colors of the aspens and oaks were the best in several years. What wonders some summer rain and optimum temperature make. The venture to the San Juan Mountains included some areas that I was familiar with and then an area I was invited to meet some friends. Turns out, this "new" location was where I had archer and rifle hunted elk for a few seasons twenty some odd years ago. Here is one of my favorite image from the trip.

There is Central Basin Wirehairs in Camp Verde. A DPS officer in Flagstaff also breeds gwps. I believe there are a few breeders in Utah if you are looking close to AZ

This is the best map i have seen. If accurate, it stopped at my friends' back yards and went around. They had called and texted that they were good/OK
